Initial analysis

The 303-unit building at 6425 S Lowe in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, constructed in 1967 and currently owned by Five Star LLC, has experienced significant regulatory activity over recent years. Between 2017 and 2024, there were 181 building violations recorded, 49 service requests filed through 311, and only 6 building permits issued. The most pressing issues have emerged recently, particularly in late 2025, when multiple periodic routine and permit-related inspections resulted in violations, though all were subsequently resolved. In early 2026, there was a cluster of building and plumbing violations, with six service requests filed between January and March, all of which were closed. The building's history includes two notable environmental enforcement actions in June 2003, resulting in $1,000 fines each for hazardous materials and toxic substances violations, following several environmental complaints from 1998 to 2003 related to air pollution and hazardous materials. While the building has shown responsiveness to violations through resolution, the sheer volume of violations and service requests in recent years suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 6425 S Lowe Chicago's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
